Irish Fairy Tales 2019

Une collection de choix de contes de fées de James Stephens.

Irish Fairy Tales is a retelling of ten Irish folktales by the Irish author James Stephens. The English illustrator Arthur Rackham provided interior artwork, including numerous black and white illustrations and sixteen color plates. The stories are set in a wooded, Medieval Ireland filled with larger-than-life hunters, warriors, kings, and fairies. Many stories concern the Fianna and their captain, Fionn mac Uail, from the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology. The book was first published by Macmillan and Company in 1920. It is one of Stephens' better-known works.

Irish Fairy Tales are similar to the stories of Grimm brothers from the west. Irish Fairy Tales suitable for kids and parent can read as a bedtime stories to their children. The ten stories are organized with introductory material to put them both in the context of Irish folklore and in their relation to the myths of other cultures.
